Finding what programs use a service program

[Clarky]

Is there an IBM command or API that can be used to determine what programs "use" a service program? We have a home grown utility that searches through all the binding directories, but this would only find it if it is in the binding directory. If the binding directory was deleted after the program was created or if there never was a binding directory, then we are SOL. Anyone else write a similar utility?

I think my coworker just discovered it. He used DSPPGMREF to an outfile. Queried the outfile, filtering out all the service programs with the same name. I am still curious what everyone else uses.

I think this has always been an issue. DSPPGMREF works.

Here is a free tool you can use (which you will need to modify a little).http://www.code400.com/forum/showthr...ll=1#post17639

XrefIT also has a free version available.
